Tonight’s Concert Pick: Gauntlet Hair at Kung Fu Necktie

Gauntlet Hair‘s self-titled debut has been a long time in the making. The lo-fi experimental duo released its first album earlier this month (via Dead Oceans), but best friends Andy Rauworth and Craig Fleischman have been making music together since they were 15. Like many of their chillwave contemporaries, Rauworth and Fleischman pair electronic drum beats with echoing guitar riffs and muffled vocals; however, the duo’s upbeat, multi-faceted approach has earned it comparisons to wide a range of artists, from M83 to Animal Collective. Gauntlet Hair performs with Music For Headphones and Ladies Auxiliary at 8 p.m. at Kung Fu Necktie; tickets to the 21+ show are $10. —Naomi Shavin
